Day Tripping – In country Victoria with Fujifilm X Series

In my younger years I spent a lot of time in the country especially as a result of my being involved in Cubs, Scouts, etc. My older brother was also involved as he was a leader of our group and of course my father was also heavily involved as he was the groups quartermaster. So…
